Below is the web interface to the irc server.
Commands begin with / and should be familiar to anyone who has used IRC before. Channels (chat rooms) and private messages are organized in tabs at the top status bar.

Please be patient once you click login it will take a few seconds to load.

Below are a few useful commands and a quick summary of their use:
/join Joins the specified channel. eg: /join #summit
/list Lists all the channels on the network (this outputs a lot of information).
/quit Quits IRC totally (same as clicking X in Status window).
/whois Gives some information about a user. eg: /whois blah
/help Displays more usage/help information.
